If u still want more cooling i would suggest removing the under engine cover that will be a huge difference, but has a draw back dont drive at extremely high speeds cuz its letting air under ur car and well its unsafe.

And if you just want to pay 4 something that will work best well i suggest buying a vented hood, bigger radiator, or another cooler.

The base of the windshield is a high pressure area. If you pull the weatherstripping out there's a chance that it will force air in at speed and you end up slowing the air coming through the oil cooler and radiator. Pulling the undertray is a bad idea too, both because it's the lower bumper support as well as the effect on aero. It will slow the airflow through the radiator and oil cooler.

theDreamer has a thread about vented hoods and temps. That's the first place to go to lower underhood temps.
